[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you go to Yosemite and can't find a room or tent cabin, I recommend renting a vacation home in Foresta or Groveland, Calif. Lake Tahoe is another fantastic destination - can't believe I didn't think of it in earlier post - and can be combined with a trip to SF or Yosemite or elsewhere in the High Sierra you can fly in to Reno, Nevada. Great in August with beautiful scenery, plenty of civilized grocery stores and restaurants, and rental houses and resorts to choose from. Less troublesome planning wise than a trip to a remote park. Make sure you get something with a view of the lake. Squaw Valley Resort is also nice for a night or two overlap - it doesn't have a view of the lake but there is a water slide pool with drink service & hot tub, and a nice meadow/mountain view. Tahoe has hiking, nature centers, lake beaches, boat trips, gentle rafting and tube trips, hot springs, casinos, trout fishing, boat rentals, Emerald Bay, chocolate dipped soft serve ice cream cones - something for everybody. We stayed in the Zephyr Cove area on the Nevada side and had a great time, less traffic than the Tahoe City side. Took the kids to a different sandy beach with rock formations and pine trees and mountain views every day of the week. [/quote] There's a place near South Lake Tahoe called Joe's or Sam's or something that has the most amazing drinks--I had a mojito with fresh rasberries...yum. The Lake Tahoe scenery's not bad either. :) Yosemite can be combined with Tahoe pretty easily in August because the high road is open. Reno would be the closest airport, but flying into San Francisco would let you see the Pacific Coast.[/quote]
